THE WARM, WARM BED is an extremely cheap and lousy sexploitation effort from director Barry Mahon. At just an hour in length it never outstays its welcome, but the cheapness of the production is apparent in the black and white film stock used and the fact that nearly all of the action takes place in just a couple of rooms.
The film attempts to tie together a number of sub-plots in an interesting way and occasionally acts as a piece of farce, but generally it's not entertaining. The theme is ostensibly adultery and wife swapping, but there's an oddly tame aspect to the proceedings despite the near-constant nude scenes and the occasional sexual interlude.
The film begins with a bickering couple whose venomous antics will have you reaching for the fast-forward button. The guy playing the husband is supposedly a pilot but his arms are slathered in tattoos which sits oddly with his profession. Later a peeper husband tries to get into his own house but has some slapstick accidents. The running time is endlessly padded out with long shower scenes, scenes of women getting dressed and undressed, and dull dialogue. It's a real chore to watch.
